PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

The following annual assessment resolutions have been completed by the Finance Division and the assessments are ready to be spread on the tax files.

Park Maintenance District  
Light Maintenance District               
Fire Hydrant Maintenance  
Street Maintenance  
Storm Sewer  
Arterial Construction  
Business Improvement District  
Tourism Business Improvement District  
Mill Levy Rates for General, Transit, Library, PSI  

These assessments will be listed as sub items under one agenda item.  There will be one public hearing where anyone may speak about any of the assessments.  After the public hearing is closed, the Council will need to take action on each individual assessment.  All assessments take a majority vote except for the Arterial Construction assessment.  The Arterial Construction assessment takes a super-majority of Council of at least (2/3) of all Council members present and voting.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED

The Council must hold a public hearing and then may:
  • Approve the resolutions; or
  • Not approve the resolutions,

FINANCIAL IMPACT

Park maintenance districts and light maintenance districts rates are calculated by estimating the expenses for maintenance and recovering actual expenditures.  Street Maintenance District 1 fees will increase by 2.5%, and the average residential Street Maintenance District 2 fees will increase by $13.12 for FY12. Storm sewer and Arterial Fees will increase by 2.5 % for FY 2012.  There is no change in the TBID rate per occupied Hotel/Motel room per night.  The fire hydrant maintenance fee will decrease for fiscal year 2012.  The BID assessment for zone 1 has had no rate increase for FY 2012.  There are no mill increases for FY 2012 for General, Transit, Library, and Public Safety I.                   

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that one public hearing be held for all the assessments and that the City Council approve each individual resolution on June 13, 2011.  The Arterial Construction resolution requires a super-majority (2/3) vote for passage.

APPROVED BY CITY ADMINISTRATOR
